To save your faith in Android, this once again looks like a Mailman  
(or maybe a broken spam/virus scanner?) issue. The original email has:

+ mulitpart/signed
   - text/html
   - application/pkcs7-signature

I'll send you an email directly from the same Android device in case  
you want to look at it.
